New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra is having a dream World Cup debut because he has already blasted three blistering centuries. His third one came during a match against Pakistan on Saturday (November 4) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Choosing to bowl first after winning the toss, Pakistan dismissed Devon Conway but not before his 68-run opening stand with Ravindra. However, Pakistan had to wait for a long time to bag their second wicket, because Kane Williamson and Ravindra were making mockery of the bowlers on the small Chinnaswamy ground.

The Kiwi skipper missed his century by five runs when he was dismissed by Iftikhar Ahmed in the 35th over. In the next over, Mohammad Wasim Jr. sent the dangerous Ravindra packing but the 23-year-old had already, slammed his third World Cup century. From 94 balls, Ravindra scored 108 runs with the help of 15 fours and one six, at a strike rate of 114.89.

Fans heap praise on Rachin Ravindra for his knock against Pakistan

Fans on X are quite surprised by the way Rachin Ravindra has been playing in this World Cup. He reminded them of Sachin Tendulkar, the reason being Ravindra’s name as ‘Chin’ has been taken from ‘Sachin’.

Netizens are also saying that Ravindra did justice to the name given to him. Indian fans are on cloud nine, given that the younger is Indian-born.

The Kiwis, with Ravindra’s ton, Kane Williamson’s 95, Mark Chapman’s 39, Glenn Phillips’ 41, and contributions from other batters took them to a mammoth total of 401/6 in 50 overs. Pakistan have so far scored 100-plus runs for one wicket in 17 overs. They have to beat the Black Caps to stay alive in the tournament.
